whats this separatism?

isnt the "Baltic countries - Estonia - Latvia - Lithuania" thread suitable?

***ChrisZwolle*** · December 24th, 2008, 06:23 PM

It has been decided to give each country a separate thread

in the same situation our signs (hungary) shows only a right arrow with the destinations to the right and to the left combined and doesnt show the 270°turn recquired to go left...
its a litle bit confusing...

Not so much motorways in Estonia. But I guess that the traffic volumes aren't that high

"Stockholm 412"

Probably by ferry. I doubt that there is a tunnel going to Sweden

it's a secret tunnel

Timon91 · December 25th, 2008, 10:55 PM

So incredibly secret that they sign it on the normal road signs?

rpc08 · December 26th, 2008, 01:47 PM

Probably in the middle of the sea there is a sign too

It doesn't make any sense...

I like this way of signing as well, my partner always goes crazy in Czech if destination is on the left and turning is right...

^ Then your partner must have big problems with driving on motorways.

There probably was an entrance before where you didn't get the chance to go to Tallinn, so you have to turn here. Just my 2 cents.

a value of concept of a word "highway" in all Baltic countries is different than in Western or even Central Europe - when there are two lanes in each party and between them there is a space or even crashbarriers, then for the locals it's a first class road! I mean it's called a "motorway" or "highway", whatever, here!!!

So it's a common thing to have such U-turns on a "highway" in Baltics!

If it only were for it, then it would be OK, but these roads are actually signed with a motorway sign:

The"motorway" ends a few kms down the road:

Verso · December 26th, 2008, 09:17 PM

Are you sure it's the same road?

***PLH*** · December 26th, 2008, 09:37 PM

Well, I took these pics from here, so it must be the same road.
